Here is chapter 11. I hope this clears up why Vlad has shown up. I'm still thinking of dis-continuing this story. Well I have to go now, but PLEASE PLEASE READ AND REVIEW! Expect chapter 12 by the 19th ( at the most.) Good-bye all my loyal readers.

Sam fell onto her bed with a thud. She tried with immense vigor to hold back the threatening tears. But, who the hell was she kidding, she was utterly miserable. She transformed back to normal, and began to cry. Violent sobs began to rack her whole body. All she could do now was heal, and at the rate she was going it was going to take a long time. She sobbed for a few more minutes, then sucked it up.

" Well," she sighed. " I will feel better after a good night sleep." She grabbed her pajamas and headed for the bed, where she stopped.

"Ewwww, ghost guts..." She growled. " Ok, on second thought maybe another bath would be in order."

Yawning, she hopped in the bath and ran the warm water. With her powers she lit some candles and turned on the radio. She just soaked for a few minutes, letting the puffiness of her eyes die down. She was just about to fall asleep when...

" Sam? Are you alright? I thought I heard you crying." Leo asked from her bedroom door.

Sam swallowed hard and sighed. " Yes, Leo, I'm fine. Just taking a bath."

Leo coughed. " Well, if you say so... see you tomorrow...want to walk to school together?"

You know what fine. Sam thought. If Danny doesn't want to speak with me that's ok. I've got Leo, and he's more than any girl could ask for.

" Sure" Sam replied. " I'd love to."

Leo walked away from the door with an evil grin on his face.

" Now, about my pay..." a voice called from behind.

Leo chuckled. " Your pay...Your pay? Pay for what, may I ask? You failed to complete the task I have handed to you...Vlad."

" Ah yes, but I did manage to separate them. THAT was part of the task."

Leo, once again, chuckled. " Ah ah ah, Vlad. Danny refused Samantha by his own free will, you had nothing to do with it. You simply managed to be at the right place at the right time...there is no rewards for sheer dumb luck."

" DUMB LUCK!" Vlad screeched. "Why you pompous little!"

" SILENCE!" Leo cried, flames arising at his feet. " You dare challenge me? Fool, you have no idea what I am capable of!"

Vlad rolled his eyes. " I suppose you're going to tell me..." he mused sarcastically.

Leo sighed. "As a matter of fact I am. You see, you would be so easily defeated. I hunt for fun, not because I have to.

" So does Skulker." Vlad grumbled.

Leo laughed. " You dare compare him to myself? Your little lackey Skulker hunts ghosts. I on the other hand specialize in the hunting of Witches, warlocks, and my personal favorite... Demons."

" So, if you have never hunted a ghost before, what makes you think you would be able to defeat one?"

" Don't get to cocky." Leo snapped. " There is always room for another head on my wall."

" Yes, master. But if I may be so bold, if you are indeed so powerful, why do you need me to take care of young Daniel?" Vlad stated cooly.

" Because." Leo growled. " I have more important things to do. Like getting the witch to trust me. In order to do this Danny must be completely out of the way. When you kill him, she will be devastated. And I'll be here, her shoulder to cry on. Did I make this clear for you Vlad?" He asked.

" Yes master." Vlad stated. " I will bring the boy down."

" Good." Leo began, reaching into his pocket. " Here is the first half of your pay. When Danny is dead, you will get the other half." Leo Handed half of a glowing purple amulet to Vlad.

Vlad nodded and sunk away into the shadows.
